National Lottery proceeds and foreign aid cash should now prop up NHS
HOW I agree with the letter from Dick Lindley (The Yorkshire Post, April 1) regarding the distribution of foreign aid and how it could help fund new hospitals here.
The £14bn per year would go a long way to provide the much needed tests and equipment required to help stop coronavirus.

My late parents use to say charity begins at home and I suspect they were not the only ones.
Let’s hope the Government see sense and apply the block on foreign aid immediately.

I suppose it could be his idea of an April Fool’s joke but I doubt it.
He’s right that we need international co-operation but from the world as a whole, not the inward-looking EU.
Accept defeat gracefully John, we’ll think a lot more of you.
